What it does

Allows the user to toggle the checkbox on a tree node using the keyboard.

Fixes #13263

How to test

  1. Download the VSIX
    checkbox-keyboard-toggle-0.0.1.zip
    https://github.com/haydar-metin/theia-playground/tree/issues/13263
  2. In the explorer view you should have a new tree view
    image
  3. With space you can toggle the checkbox

The current behavior of collapsed entires is defined here:
https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/blob/master/packages/plugin/src/theia.d.ts#L6055

If the tree item is collapsed by default (meaning that the children haven't yet been fetched) then child checkboxes will not be updated.

Thank you very much for that change @haydar-metin! Everything looks good to me.

I also tested this with a tree widget (as opposed to tree view widget coming from the VS Code API) and I noticed that the children/parent toggle management does not exist there. Probably that is on purpose since the option is only available for view widgets (see #12836) but I just wanted to note that down somewhere.
